Customers like the water management of the saw. For example, they mention it's easy to clean, and does not splash much water in the work area.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the saw. Some mention it's a good solid tile saw that produces great cuts on stone and metal. However, others say that the square feels a little flimsy, the jobalt can mitre, but it'd be made of inferior materials compared to this, and causes rough breaks at the end of each cut. The blade that comes with it is very basic and doesn't last long.

"...But this saw strikes a great balance between price and solid quality...." Read more

However, other customers say that the sliding deck does not slide back far enough to rip 2 ft tiles, the bottom of the sliding platform is not accurate, and the table is not level with the slide.

"...The table slides very well on nylon wheels, without any perceptible slop. The power switch is ergonomic and easy to use...." Read more

"...The sliding deck does not slide back far enough to rip 2 ft tiles, so it would be very helpful to instead run the tile along a fence...." Read more

"...Then after about 15-20 cuts it started chipping at the end of the cut about a 1/16 inch and giving me a rough edge...." Read more

"...accompanied by the high level of Blade vibration, it chips the corner of the tile where your cut ends without fail 99% of the time, regardless of..." Read more

Changed the blade out and now it cuts like butter
I was in the process of doing a full remodel of my bathroom and I had research many wet tile saws. I did not want to go with the higher end wet tile saw because more than likely this will be one and done project. With this remodel I had different types of tile to include marble, 12x24 porcelain, glass mosaic and 6x38 wood plank ceramic. The stock blade cuts are horrible and on most of the tile left rip cuts and had to redo many tiles because of it. After my frustration with the blade that came with it. I went to home depot and purchased a Rigid diamond cut glass blade to replace the stock blade. The difference was absolutely amazing, no more rip cuts and chips. I was no longer having buyers remorse with the wet saw. Very accurate cuts and it was very easy to clean the saw and have it ready for the next job. I highly recommend this wet saw however do not use the stock blade, go purchase a glass blade from whatever home improvement store and you will not be disappointed. Just FYI, the glass blade cuts everything from marble to ceramic so you don't have to use two different blades if you are installing glass tiles. This wet saw is basically for home use only and there is a challenge to cut tiles larger than 12x12, for larger tiles you will have to be creative in your cutting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good ProSumer Product, Just Needs a Couple Improvements
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2022
This is a great little wet saw that will elevate your tile game. The sliding table was a must-have for me. My last tile saw was an underpowered 4" wet saw, and I've also rented huge 24" wet saws. As a weekend warrior I wanted something in between. This 7" saw has all the power you need.
I was able to rip 36" wood look tile planks. Just cut as far as you can, then slide the table back and keep cutting. The only thing is you have to remove one Phillips screw to remove the squaring rail. Then when you reinstall the rail for cutting tile to length, you have to square it again.

I think a better system would be an adjustment screw that also had an indexing pin to easily find square again. Sure, it should be adjustable, but you should be able to pop the rail off and on quickly and easily without tools.

Also, I didn't see a wrench holder anywhere. The wrench is just kind of floating around, and I'm sure it will get lost the first time I put it away to store.

So there is definitely room for improvement from a design standpoint. But this saw strikes a great balance between price and solid quality. I've spent this much to rent a tile saw for a weekend, so I see it as a very good value for a powerful wet saw with sliding table.

The table slides very well on nylon wheels, without any perceptible slop. The power switch is ergonomic and easy to use. A nice cord winder, and easy to grip handles round out the package. The blade guard is good, and doesn't get in the way. I didn't try the included blade, but used a Pearl P4 instead. It was hard to tell which side of the tile was cut, and which was a factory edge. Pretty darn good cut quality on wood look porcelain floor tile.

Highly recommended, but wish it had a quick indexing pin on the squaring rail so I could go from ripping to crosscuts without tools or adjustment. Also, I really wish it had a wrench holder for the included wrench.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous tool
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2023
I read all of the negative reports before and after purchasing and using this machine. I have never used a tile saw before. I have used many woodworking saws. This is a very inexpensive tool. It is not a contractor’s quality machine. I was cutting slate tile which I understand may be easier to work with. This machine cut well, it cut accurately and it cut reasonably fast. I cut 12 x 24 on a diagonal which was about 17”. This required following my cut marks which was easy. The water bath was idiot proof. I used the factory blade for the first half of my project and it went well. I spent $50 on a better quality blade and only noticed a slight improvement. The machine itself is lightweight and easy to store. For my project I cut about 40 feet of slate stone tile and this machine was accurate, fast, and efficient. I would question the ability of anyone who disagrees.

5.0 out of 5 stars Set up to cut 24” Porcelain tile
Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2023
Bought this saw to tile the bathroom floor before the wife picked the tile. She ended up choosing 24” porcelain - bigger than the saw can handle out of the box. However, I managed to rig up a fence that worked out quite well. Took the little squaring bar off the sliding table, and built a frame that I screwed the whole saw to ( there’s actually mounting holes on the saw feet). I attached a fence to this, and set and clamped it for each cut. A little fiddly, but it works great. The slide doesn’t have enough travel for the 24” tile, but I just cut as far as I can, turn off the saw with the tile still in place, slide the table back while leaving the tile at the blade and against the fence, and continue the cut. Works like a charm.

I did, however, tune the saw up a bit before I started. Replaced the blade with a DeWalt porcelain blade (DW4766 7 inch), squared the inner slide rail (closest to the blade - pretty easy to do, just loosen the cap screws and set it with an adjustable square to the front and rear of the blade, but it’s easier to do when you have the stationary table top apart to shim it like I describe next), and adjusted the stationary side of the table so it was flush with the level of the sliding side. (Previous commenter detailed removing the steel top part, removing the plastic section under it, and shimming it up where needed with washers. Easy-peasy).

It took probably about 3 hours of tuning and set-up, but I did manage to get the bathroom floor tiled with no chippy edges or broken tiles. Well worth the effort, and the saw performed great!
